Tea and scones with Farmers for Climate Action

Join The Myer Foundation for an afternoon tea at their boardroom to meet their new CEO of Farmers for Climate Action, Verity Morgan-Schmidt, and the head of strategic projects, Anna Rose (a Myer Innovation Fellow recent alumni).

Farmers for Climate Action is an exciting new initiative bringing together a network of over 3000 farmers across Australia committed to action to tackle climate change – both sustainability on-farm, and pushing for stronger laws in our state and federal Parliaments.

This is an opportunity to hear a short talk from Verity and Anna about the organisation, their achievements so far, and their plans for the future. In the tradition of the Country Women’s’ Association, tea and scones will be provided.
